I beg you, lower the BG's Spawn timer to 30 Seconds or less

Please for the love of God, this needs to be tweaked. People spend way too much time camping in the spawn. Everyone is just stuck in that match for too long with nothing happening. If at any point someone wants to troll they can just wait out the timer by hiding in a corner completely untouchable. This not only wastes the time of the enemy team but also the teammates who are lying dead waiting for the next round to start (in Death Match). If spawn killing isn't allowed (rightfully so) then spawn camping to this degree should also be culled as much as possible. 30 seconds tops is more than enough time before you get kicked back down into the arena.

Heck, even 30 seconds would be too much in my opinion. How do we still have to wait 2 minutes for that one guy to come down ?

The problem with BG spawns is they tried to mimic the concept of leaving a keep in cyrodil while defending.....people tend to not leave keep walls when they are defending.

BGs would be better if the spawn zones were at level with the ground with a one way wall. This way it is more likely for the respawning group to all leave as a buffed up group safely instead of dropping one at a time into 8 players. Anyone who plays bgs knows it is guaranteed death to FALL for 1-2 gcds get stuck in landing animation and then try to begin putting pressure. The raised spawn zones are just perfectly designed for spawn camping. I would know, most of the matches I go 30/0 with the only reason being that as someone falls I stun them and then hit them with a merci execute.

You could probably go a step further and make it so the spawn group can attack out of the wall, but the campers can't attack into the wall. The only gamemode that would have to be changed is Chaosball I think, that could be changed such that you only get points for holding the ball in an area of the map instead of camping with it at spawn.

it's more about griefing than trolling, to punish team mates
This is generally used if players systematically kill matches by ignoring flags, jeopardizing the entire game out of selfishness.
